uh. this started out as a post of gifs directly applicable to conversations about fic and then I started being unable to discriminate and it got really messy??? but they’re basically all gifs you can use as part of a direct dialogue with someone. that’s the theme here. it. may not quite apply to all of them tho.

*unfortunately several of these gifs do refer to fangirls rather than fans, which is sad because it excludes male/genderqueer/nonbinary/agender fans who might otherwise want to use it!

**yes, (creative) fandom is undeniably a female space, and I think recognizing and celebrating that is super-awesome and important, but that doesn’t mean that the fan=fangirl assumption isn’t an issue and uncool.

all that being said, have some gifs!

B: a pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.

oh god, Kate, this is not a question you in particular want to be asking me so many pairings so many fucked up pairings AHEM but besides all of the o.O ones that I read because of excellent authors and then got hooked on, I guess Emma/Regina (OuaT).

did not see that coming, but oh my god am I a sucker for co-parenting and accidental domesticity

M: a person who got you into a fandom and what fandom they pulled you in to.

well. it depends on how you define being in a fandom. I’ve been immersed in multiple fandoms for over a decade now, but glee’s really the first one I’d actually consider myself actively a member of the fandom.

as far as reading fics and having feels goes, though, copperbadge and his writerly circle at the time hooked me on Stargate: Atlantis back when they started writing SGA fic without my ever having seen an episode. 

that’s how I find a lot of new ships.

Y: a fandom you’re in but have no ships from.

…huh.

you know, I’m going to go ahead and say Supernatural, because hell yes I read destiel and even wincest (i know, i know, sorry kate) but at the end of the day what I’m in it for is the fucked up codependency of the winchester’s brotherly relationship.

I also read but don’t have particular attachments to most DCU pairings.

I keep thinking, as I work my way through writing a long fic over this equally long Glee hiatus, that it seems a shame that for people newer to fandom, especially people who have only been Glee fans on tumblr, it’s so hard to go back and find old fics from years ago.  There’s the AO3, of course, but you have to know there what you’re looking for, and too many writers never post their fic there at all.

So, in the spirit of getting the most out of this last Glee hiatus and keeping the fandom strong and excited going into our final season (noooooooo), I propose that we re-post fics of ours that either we never posted on tumblr or haven’t posted in a long while.

I know a lot of older fics will have been jossed by canon and that our writing skills may have improved since they were first written, but I know out of the one hundred forty-nine Glee fics I’ve posted - yikes - I can find some that I feel excited about sharing again.

I hope you can find some of your own stories, too.

So I propose not so much of a meme as an idea.  Let’s re-announce some of our old fics, the ones we smile to think back on writing, the ones we wish more people have read, the ones we’re proud of for one reason or another.  And let’s favorite rec older fics from beloved authors, too!  Let’s remind ourselves how great being a part of this creative, thriving fandom was and is.

What do you say?  Are you in? :)

I’m in!

This is a lovely idea! I’m in! Absolutely! Let’s do this.

I have asked this myself in the past and never gotten an answer.

Maybe today will be the day we are both finally enlightened.
